Netflix has already approved and cancelled this series!

Not necessarily. Accuracy comes down to specific implemention of the emulator, hardware or software.

Where FPGA shines is it can do operations in parallel, just like actual hardware would. This means there will be a lot less latency in the emulation, giving it a feel that's close to the original hardware.

An FPGA implementation of the GBA can be as inaccurate as software emulation, and just because a game seems to play the same way doesn't mean the emulator is calculating everything in the exact same way as the original hardware. Cycle accuracy isn't technically necessary to have it still seem exactly the same so long as the timing is the same. That's what the PS1 core on the MiSTer is (timing accurate, though not perfectly cycle accurate).

It was the same with the PS2 and DVDs

I still watch and sing along with this movie on a regular basis. It aged pretty well.

The PS3 was pretty damned expensive for the time. I bought a MGS4 version, and I nearly returned it due to the expense. A few things made me keep it though: it was an excellent media player with lots of support for plugging in external drives full of media (and IIRC they regularly pushed new codecs out with system updates), wireless controllers and Burnout Paradise. I still play Burnout Paradise regularly. I never owned many Blu-ray movies, but it had that going for it too when most of the world was still using DVDs.

I don't think that anything that has followed the PS3 has been nearly as good of a device. I hardly ever use my PS5 now, and if most of my library weren't PlayStation-exclusive titles, I'd probably just sell the thing in favor of my Steam Deck.

We all start somewhere, and none of us learn without the help of others who've come before us. No need to apologize for that.

ping is a terminal (command line) utility used to check that a different machine is reachable. The name comes from the sound that sonar makes when it strikes a metal ship hull.

Termux is the app to get on Android.

Try it. Open up a terminal emulator / command line and do a ping google.com (or your website or local network address of choice). You'll see the response from the other machine and how long it took to do that.

Is that why dogs taste like trigonometry?

Lavazza is delicious too. I actually don't know if the American Costco stores carry Lavazza. I didn't think my local store does. I see in their website that they may only be available for delivery.

The Steam Deck is as close to a console as one could reasonably get while still offering all the flexibility and openness of a Linux PC.

I'm on my second (upgraded to an OLED), and I'm crazy satisfied with it.

I have a PS5 that goes mostly unused. I purchased the PS5 to continue my library from the PS4, but I've been really disappointed by this console generation. It doesn't feel like it was much of an upgrade given not many games target the PS5 alone. And now Sony is doing a Pro for what purpose exactly?

The Kirkland beans really are bad, which is surprising. I like the Don Pablo beans they carry a lot though.
